I will not, I will not desert to its foes The soul that on Jesus has leaned for repose, Like lambs they shall still in My bosom be borne. My sovereign, eternal, unchangeable love Īnd when hoary hairs shall their temples adorn, Thy dross to consume, and thy gold to refine.Įven down to old age all My people shall prove
The flame shall not hurt thee I only design My grace, all sufficient, shall be thy supply When through fiery trials thy pathways shall lie, The rivers of woe shall not thee overflow įor I will be with thee, thy troubles to bless,Īnd sanctify to thee thy deepest distress. When through the deep waters I call thee to go, I'll strengthen and help thee, and cause thee to stand In poverty's vale, or abounding in wealth Īt home and abroad, on the land, on the sea,Īs thy days may demand, shall thy strength ever be.įear not, I am with thee, O be not dismayed,įor I am thy God and will still give thee aid
